Atletico Madrid have reportedly agreed a deal to sign
Villarreal's South American pair Diego Forlan and Juan Roman
Riquelme.
Spanish daily AS claims a fee of up to 30million euros (£21million)
has been agreed between the two clubs, and if that's the case it
will only increase speculation that Fernando Torres is about to
leave the Vicente Calderon.
Forlan has been a big hit at El Madrigal since leaving Manchester
United in the summer of 2004. He was top scorer in his first season
in La Liga.
He was strongly linked with a move to Barcelona last summer, but
the Catalan giants ended up signing Chelsea's Eidur Gudjohnsen
instead.
Forlan has a 23million euro release clause in his Villarreal
contract, and has been linked with Sunderland and Liverpool.
Riquelme, meanwhile, spent the second half of last season back in
Argentina with his old club Boca Juniors on loan.
And AS claims Atletico must now persuade him to return to
Spain.
